Dude if your really into your cars and your a true motor head do some research and get a Toyota Celcia '96/97 wit a yahama beams engine, japense import. Its a rocket. Yahama specially build this engine on behalf of Toyota.

But word of caution...do your homework do the dealer importing the car and source spare parts before you buy so you know where to go to before you buy.

The above suggestions pretty much covers it but if you want something a little different.

But really you cannot go wrong with a Celica or MR2. Plenty to choose from and are very easy to tune or modify.

Why does nobody EVER mention Saabs ??

nice quick armchair

http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car&carID=252733
leather seats and all

a bit of "classic" style

All with a 150 or so turbo horses. Great acceleration between 80 - 120 km/h (i.e. where you really want it)

If its goona be a Prelude, its gotta be the VTEC, but its 2.2.
Best 2 litre is an mr2 TURBO.
Or go out on a limb, and get an rx7. But expect it to break.

Becasue the only place you'll get decent money when changing it is from a SAAB dealer when you buy a new one. And then to get a decent price you have to go back and ... you get the idea ...

My memory is probably failing me, but did you not buy an Alfa 156 recently?

FX Meister

You're right, he didn't mention stylish or well designed in his question so maybe you could recommend a Saab. Check if he's a stuffy, 40 something old man first though.

in my experience the trusty golf isnt that reliable, certainly not any more so than my alfa
